"Hudson: My coach wants me to take figure skating lessons so I can gracefully pivot around the net. That's a whole lot of hockey hooey if you ask me. Making matters worse, the class is with my sister's best friend, who I'm convinced hates me after what happened back in high school.
Leah: It's no secret that I'm looking for my very own hockey hero for a happily ever after. When my parents invite my best friend's brother to their anniversary party, they attempt to arrange our marriage. My life goal is not with the goalie, thank you very much.
Hudson: We're faced with something of a Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet reversal—she said it's her favorite, so I read it. Since she's totally over me and I shouldn't be interested in her, I set her up on a few dates that go sideways, which does not help me shake these newfound feelings.
Leah: As we spend more time together I can't escape the scent of evergreens. Could I still be pining? My family has zero boundaries, and it turns out we don't either because when his lips land on mine, a decade's worth of fireworks explodes between us.
Hate to love might work in romance, but in real life, never. Then why can't we stay away from each other?"
"Liam: I don't know what I'm doing. I have no idea where this kid came from. I mean, I know that part, but when he showed up on my doorstep, not only did I have to put everything on hold, but my hockey coach threw me into the sin bin.
Jess: I'm a certified wreck, then I meet the guy who I think is my prince. On our wedding day, he leaves me at the altar. This means I'm headed back home to my small town and into Granny Dolly's meddling arms.
Liam: I'm drowning in potty training, team commitments, and legal documents. I'm not sure how much longer I can keep my newfound father status secret.
Jess: I get a job helping the Big Bad Wolf. Yet, somehow, I don't get bit. Except by his son.
Liam: I was all about that loner life, but when my money-grubbing ex attempts to ruin me, I propose a marriage of convenience to my assistant.
Jess: I need a favor that comes in the size and shape of my boss, so when he suggests we get married, I have to remind myself that it's not real. Nor are my feelings for him. Probably. Maybe a little. Like crumb-sized.
Between lingering looks, arguments over the toothpaste cap, and tingly moments, will this grumpy sunshine pair let love bloom?"
"Madeline Sage has entirely lost who she is after her brother and best friend's passing. She's an aunt taking care of their two kids, a nursing student, and a part-time cleaner at a ski lodge. Spending a majority of her time helping someone else, she's astray from who she was before the accident. Her nagging mother, incapable of helping with the kids, insists the one thing missing from Madeline's hectic life is a man. So Madeline seeks help from the most chaotic one she knows: her nephew's coach. In hopes of easing her mother's nerves about providing for the kids, Madeline needs a boyfriend. Even if it's a fake one.
Unfortunately, Cooper Graves knows all too well what he is. In an attempt to rectify his disorderly past and save his family ski lodge, he agrees to be interviewed by a well-known family magazine. The article will bring the lodge plenty of new exposure on its upcoming winter events. All he's missing is a wife and kids.
Madeline needs a fake boyfriend. Cooper needs a fake family. Their newfound friendship quickly blurs into something entirely real. Only he's not fit for 'uncle-hood', and she can't find a place in her heart or her schedule to add one more person to her circle of loved ones. Snowed under their complications, Madeline and Cooper are destined to find out if love is enough to overcome tragedies of the past."
"For years, I’ve toed the fine line between wanting women to fill the empty spaces of my life and not letting them get close enough to know I struggle with my time overseas. Thankfully, one woman I don’t have to worry about finding that tricky balance with is our new office admin.
Even if she hadn’t dropped me with a knee between my legs, making me choke on a donut all before I met her, I wouldn’t want anything to do with Chloe Whitlock. Not only would she rather remain unaware of the world’s harshness by keeping her nose in a book, but she’s also too bubbly. And all that joy she breathes into the world is an obvious front, which means she’s hiding something. In our line of work, that makes her a threat.
What’s clear? Chloe needs to go.
But even as my suspicions grow, I reluctantly start falling for the bubbly threat I’ve been tasked with protecting. Unfortunately, I’m not the only one who wants her."
"Ella: As I struggle to stay afloat in the housekeeping hustle, a handsome guest and I have a magical night sneaking into the pool, making wishes under the stars, and spilling secrets. But at midnight, I risk turning into a pumpkin, er, my not-so-fancy self, compared to the pro hockey player with the expensive watch. Time is slipping through my fingers as the bill for my dad's care comes due.
Jack: I'm a hockey superstar, famous for scoring goals and stealing hearts, but I'm at a career crossroads. After a fun and flirty weekend, sparks fly, but there's trouble off the ice because she's not the trophy my billionaire father has in mind for me.
Ella: When he suggests we level up our fake relationship to a fake engagement, I don't have anything to lose except my sense of reality as I'm swept into his wealthy world—and my grip on my emotions because this is starting to feel real.
Jack: Before we met, my life was mapped out, but she changed the game. Some argue it's for the worst. But I've never felt—or played—better. Before, retirement from the league loomed. Now I have a new goal and it's a future with her."

"Someone stole Azulin's true name. Cursed to ride with the Wild Hunt during each full moon, he is helpless against the Unseelie king's will. Over the years, the curse's grip has strengthened, making Azulin's magic difficult to control. Fighting the curse has exhausted his spirit to the point that he despairs of breaking its hold on him. Then one full moon, the curse places him in a labyrinth, not a hunt. Perhaps this is his chance, or maybe just a new form of torture.
Calypso is a shapeshifter who can't change form. Living as an unpaid caregiver and laborer in her sister's household, her presence is barely tolerated in their insular community. When a strange fae threatens her pregnant sister, Calypso sacrifices herself. Perhaps an honorable death would give her life purpose. Instead, she ended up fighting for her life in a pitch-black labyrinth.
The Fae King's Labyrinth is a light, fantasy romance novella about a relationship between a Seelie fae and a mortal woman. It features fae, found family, fated mates, and a romance between a noble and a commoner, played out in a perilous maze and an equally dangerous fae court."

"Clean water, paved roads, public transit, electricity and gas, sewers, waste processing, telecommunication, even the Internet—all this infrastructure is what makes cities work and powers our lives, often seamlessly and silently. Virtually everything we do and consume depends on infrastructure. Yet, most people have no idea how these systems work. How is water treated? How do cities manage rainwater? Why do traffic jams exist? How is electricity generated and distributed? What happens to trash after it is picked up? How does the Internet work?
In The Infrastructure Book, world-renowned urban engineering expert Sybil Derrible reveals the behind-the-scenes machinations of the foundational systems that make our societies function. Visiting sixteen cities around the world and their unique approaches to organizational challenges—from water distribution in Hong Kong to waste management in Tokyo, and from Chicago's power grid to low Earth orbit satellites in space—this book uses case studies and historical detours to show how infrastructure works—and, sometimes, doesn't.
With large-scale infrastructure repairs looming and the need for existing infrastructure to be transformed, the book also shows how infrastructure can be more sustainable and resilient. After The Infrastructure Book, listeners will never look at a city the same way."

"In this compelling dialogue, two of the world’s most influential thinkers reflect on the value of equality and debate what citizens and governments should do to narrow the gaps that separate us. Ranging across economics, philosophy, history, and current affairs, Thomas Piketty and Michael Sandel consider how far we have come in achieving greater equality. At the same time, they confront head-on the extreme divides that remain in wealth, income, power, and status nationally and globally.
What can be done at a time of deep political instability and environmental crisis? Piketty and Sandel agree on much: more inclusive investment in health and education, higher progressive taxation, curbing the political power of the rich and the overreach of markets. But how far and how fast can we push? Should we prioritize material or social change? What are the prospects for any change at all with nationalist forces resurgent? How should the left relate to values like patriotism and local solidarity where they collide with the challenges of mass migration and global climate change?
To see Piketty and Sandel grapple with these and other problems is to glimpse new possibilities for change and justice but also the stubborn truth that progress towards greater equality never comes quickly or without deep social conflict and political struggle."
